Abstract
In areas with three types of environmental pollution, the state of the musculoskeletal system was studied in 22,710 children aged from the first days of life to 17 years. In general, an increase in the incidence of diseases and injuries of the osteoarticular system was noted, which was most pronounced in areas with aluminum production, which indicates a direct dependence of the pathology of the musculoskeletal system on microelement disorders. In the zone of consequences of the Chernobyl accident with a period of radiation contamination calculated from 1986, static skeletal disorders are most frequent, in Kazakhstan, where the mixed type of contamination has been active for 30 years, the frequency of congenital deformities is increased, and in the zone of aluminum complexes, acquired diseases of the skeleton.
